BHA & BHT Free Classic Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca

This refreshing drink is everything you want on a warm day — cool, lightly sweet, and bright with citrus. Made entirely from fresh cucumbers, real lime juice, and a simple homemade syrup, every ingredient here is clean and straightforward with zero preservatives in sight. That matters more than you might think, since BHA and BHT show up in a surprising number of packaged beverages and flavored drink mixes. By blending and straining fresh cucumber yourself, you get a naturally vibrant, pale-green drink that no bottled version can really compete with. The homemade simple syrup lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it, and the pinch of salt pulls the whole flavor together beautifully. Served over ice with a lime slice and a sprig of mint, it looks as good as it tastes — and it comes together with just a blender, a strainer, and a pitcher.
